107 Blackfoot Drive

Sold Apr 30, 2026
Sold for $5k more178 sq ft larger$31 lower per sq ftWell-maintained with quartz updates

This property on Blackfoot Drive offers a great comparison because it's also a single-story home in Lake Royale. While the total price is nearly identical to 226 Shawnee Drive, this home provides significantly more living space and includes a detached garage and a custom workshop. The interior features quartz countertops and a large enclosed porch, which are high-value additions that aren't present at the home for sale.

Bottom line
Given that this home sold for the same price but offers more square footage and a garage, 226 Shawnee Drive feels a bit expensive by comparison.

111 Running Bear Drive

Sold Aug 4, 2025
Sold for $169k less20 sq ft larger$156 lower per sq ftNeeds total renovation

It's important to look at this property on Running Bear Drive to understand the floor of the market for a home that needs a total overhaul. This was an investor special sold as-is for cash, which explains the very low price point compared to 226 Shawnee Drive. It serves as a reminder of the value of a move-in ready home like the one you are considering, as this property was essentially a shell at the time of sale.

Bottom line
This is an apples-to-oranges comparison due to the condition, but it highlights that 226 Shawnee Drive is priced as a finished, ready-to-live-in product.

111 Running Bear Drive

Sold Feb 6, 2026
Sold for $10k less138 sq ft larger$36 lower per sq ftFully renovated/Modern

This is the same home on Running Bear Drive after a beautiful renovation, and it really sets a high bar for the neighborhood. It features a modern custom kitchen with shaker cabinets and granite, along with new windows and high-end flooring throughout. Even with these premium finishes and more square footage, it sold for less than the current asking price of 226 Shawnee Drive.

Bottom line
Since a fully modernized, larger home sold for less just recently, 226 Shawnee Drive appears to be priced above the current market trend.
